This is possible, but Word puts formatting in the site that browsers will read instead of your default stylesheet that is already on your website. This could cause your fonts, font colors, spacing and sizes to look different from the rest of the site. It is best to follow the directions below to remove that formatting if you have already pasted your content in.

    If you have not put your content in yet, follow these directions for copying and pasting into the text editor.

    1. Login to your site.

    2. Navigate to the text editor that you want to remove the formatting from.
    3. Click on Settings from the drop down admin menu.

    4. Highlight the text you would like to remove the formatting from or hit Ctrl + A to select all.
    5. Click on the Format Stripper dropdown menu.


      • Strip All Formatting- This will remove all formatting from what you have selected.  You will need to go back in and put in spaces and headings after you choose this.
      • Strip Css Formatting- All CSS styling is removed from what is selected.
      • Strip Font Elements- Any font tag or font reference is removed.
      • Strip Span Elements- Any span tags that are put into your selected text will be removed.
      • Strip Word Formatting- Formatting that was put in through Word will be removed.
    6. Once everything looks the way you want it to look, click the Update button.
